I told my little cousin that I was going to a grown up party for Halloween and he exclaimed, “with Se-Se-SEx?! and everything?!”  Oh, kids just grow up before out very eyes don’t the? This is while he was counting his candy stash and trading Snicker bars and sour Twizzlers and throwing away all the Tootsie Rolls with the other cousins. I miss being a kid sometimes. I try telling my little cousins not to grow up too fast, but by the time they all reach middle school, it’s too late. sigh.

So my favorite Indian, Ro, got myself some photo press passes for the Mute Math and As Tall As Lions show this Friday at the Warehouse. a m a z i n g. My first As Tall As Lions show, even though they were just the opening band, and their lead singer, Dan, was unable to perform due to throat problems. Instead, they opted to perform some amazing instrumental sets with bassist Julio taking the reigns to sing on some of the songs. I think I had an orgasm in the pit. It was so good. Although, I’ll remember to bring ear plugs next time because I’m pretty sure I’m partially deaf in both ears now. can’t wait for their headlining tour in March.

I do love a good trumpet solo.

Mute Math. They put on a hell  of a show.

These polaroids are actually really stunning in person. They had a show at the DeSantos Gallery last year with just the polaroids on the wall. It was great to see everyone leaning in closer to the wall to take a look. They have so much polaroids. I was able to put on some gloves and go go through a basket full of them and the quality of the skin in some of the polaroids was absolutely luminous. I miss instant photos. Wait, let me rephrase that. I miss instant photos without the price gouging for film.  😦 Can’t wait until until next year when the polaroid makes a come back.
